Immersed in Pleasure (7 page)

“It was worth everything.”

After a few minutes of simply enjoying being inside her, Derek slid out of her. He washed the blood off them, pleased to see the damage hadn’t been as bad as he feared. Xenia surprised him by wanting to try again almost immediately, and with the aid of some lubricant and an hour of foreplay, they managed to make love again, this time without pain. Derek stood at the side of the bed and moved in Xenia as she lay on her back, her hips at the edge of the mattress. Next he would teach her doggy style, then woman superior…maybe they’d just start at the beginning of the
Kama Sutra
and work their way through it. He felt like a virgin himself in a way—until tonight, until Xenia, he’d never made love.

Finally spent, they lay on their sides, Xenia’s back nestled against his chest.

“You think Kingsley will come to the wedding?” Derek asked, kissing the silver fin tattoo on her shoulder.

“No. But knowing him, he’ll try to come on the honeymoon.”

Derek laughed as he lightly teased her nipples with his fingertips. “Honeymoon sounds good. The ocean?”

“Of course,” she said, pressing her bottom into his growing erection. Maybe they’d try it from behind this time. “No kids though. Nothing bigger than you is ever going in or coming out of me.”

“I won’t argue with that. Dogs then?”

“Dogs need yards. Cats?” Xenia suggested.

“I’m allergic. So no kids, no dogs, no cats. Hmm… Wait, I’ve got it.”

Xenia turned over and grinned at him through the dark. Even in the low light he could see the childlike mischief in her eyes. Ten years from now, a hundred years from now, he would still love those innocent ocean-blue eyes.

“What?”

He ran his fingertips down her face, over her arms, and traced the tattoos that adorned her hips.

“Fish.”
